I am feeling the uphill drudge,
a feeling of working against the energy,
the need to go slower and be more meticulous
with details.

I am getting completes.

I have had some stunner Revelations
these past days....a look into Core Issues
that are with me.

I had forgotten. I am being shown
things I want to heal. I do not want to choose
the easy way out...that would look like taking on more...
when the answer is going deeper have being more...

This is a Time to Write Out Seed Dreams.
This is a time to Plant Your Dream:

Listen. Can you see yourself here?

The writer, is talking about the last then days:

During the 11 days before the inferior conjunction (fusion) of mind and life, take a new look at how you can bring out your inner wisdom by adjusting to a future vision or broader perspective that's opening for you, and get a new point of view regarding what your imagination is willing to consider and how to coordinate your life to reorganize it productively. It's great for intuitive flashes, insights into the larger collective consciousness and unconsciousness, and you should find a new ease and sophistication among those you're with.

This retrograde beginning at 12 Cancer retraces ground we covered May 30-June 15, and is a degree of "A Chinese Woman Nursing A Baby Haloed by Divine Light," giving us "the promise... that God may take birth" within us, yielding personality integration and illumination. It is a degree of "the revelation of latent worth in an experience once it is seen in its deeper meaning," thus holistic perception that reveals the meaning of "wholes" of our experience that can lead to striking revelations.

Feel like I am sloshing through molasses today.
Lost energy because of going too fast in last couple days.

being asked to slow down
Thanks for reminding me.

Need to nap more.

Feeling like a Mercury Retrograde, so I checked.

Here is an excellent excerpt from
© Copyright 2007 Robert Wilkinson:


Remembering that nothing turns out as expected during a Mercury retrograde, and that things take strange twists and turns and there are curious returns of people, ideas, and experiences in new forms that resemble old forms, open to useful but overlooked angles of viewing things, learn and teach through a sense of perspective of how past and present relate in unusual ways, and be alert to roundabout or indirect communications that show things going on below the surface.

All in all, given the lack of volatile aspects between Mercury and the other planets, there shouldn't be too much upheaval or upset. It's more a time of grounding and integrating, preparing for conclusions and crystalizations to happen in August leading to the new Saturn in Virgo era.

Mercury going stationary direct at 3 Cancer on July 9-10 shows that through October 11, 2007 we will have to allow our "spiritual will" to lead our mind into pioneering situations and views. Begin to see how you are being challenged to get out beyond the known and familiar and "plunge into the virgin possibilities of life."

This initiates a period of being shown a new path determined by recent choices that shifted our allegiances, so overcome any stagnant vibe during your "trial of endurance." We are told it's a "testing of the will," so accept no needless limitations, be self-reliant, and express your indomitability. We should all be much more aware of our new way after this three week period, and able to thread our way through life's complexities to achieve our vision, to whatever degree it is possible at this emergent phase in a larger process.

When Mercury goes direct, it is at a platform from which to bring the lessons it has reflected on during the rx period forward into the future life-in-the-making. The angle of retrograde exploration was the stationary retrograde degree. The degree of the inferior conjunction shows how life and mind must come together in a different, perhaps overlooked but definitely useful, view of what must be known. The entire retrograde function is inward-turned, so we can get insights into what must be known to understand some thing from a more holistic point of view. We can also note how our mind, ideas, or worldview are affected by our subconsciousness, or our receptivity to others' subconsciousness.

Mercury retrograde periods reveal their own unique rhythm in offering us a new look at things. Every period in some way echoes the messages of prior retrograde periods, and affects those to come. That's why it's important to observe what has been revealed during other periods in the recent months and years past, so that you can see how Mercury, or Hermes, the "Guide of Souls," is leading you to your authentic self. Regardless of appearances, or how difficult or easy, Mercury retrograde periods show us the path to our Soul.

I will give you Part 2 tomorrow, where we will explore how this Mercury retrograde period affects each individual sign.
